Yay!! One of my favorite things to do as a mom is watch my children compete...after all the hard work, dedication and hours of practice I love to see those huge smiles at the end of a routine/dance that just say...I did it and I am proud of myself!! So hear we are at the start of Bailey's 2014 competitive season...and wow did she impress. I really can't tell her enough how proud I am of her!
She competed in the first session Friday morning (check-in 7:30 am & warm-ups 8 am) in Park City...so the Dawes clan was up bright and early and on the road by 6:30 am. (Brandon and I are doing a 28 day cleanse right now...so I had to have all our "safe" snacks/drinks ready to go the night before. #dedicated)
Lets Get Ready to Rumble...
Warm-ups...just chillaxin'
Olympus Gymnastics Level 5 Team
Bailey's.Biggest.Fans...just taking a little vault video
Once in Park City it was the Bailey show...and WOW was she spectacular!!! I tell you what for a little squirt she sure packs a lot of power, yet is so graceful and clean in her movements. I have to admit I was a ball of nerves (Bailey seemed un-phased...just another day in her gymnast life) and I didn't really relax until her final event was complete...luckily I have social media to distract me and I can get lots of pics and videos sent to family...thank heavens for technology(I usually don't eat until competition is over...but with our cleanse I was forced to eat every couple hours...kept me alert and not so shaky...ha!!!). Bailey had a great meet and her team took first place for Level 5's...I would have to say Winter Classic was a great start for the Olympus girls...and I can't wait to cheer them all on in 2 weeks at our host meet Crystal Cup.
